20120282726 | METHOD FOR FORMING THIN SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER SUBSTRATES FOR MANUFACTURING SOLAR CELLS - Described is a method for forming thin semiconductor layer substrates for manufacturing solar cells, in which method in a provided semiconductor substrate alternately macroporous layers of low macroporosity and etched-away layers can be formed by electrochemical etching. The etched-away layers separate adjacent macroporous layers so that these are preferably self-supporting. In this arrangement an edge region of the semiconductor substrate, which edge region encompasses the macroporous layers at least in part, remains non-etched and is thus used for mechanically stabilizing the encompassed lightly-macroporous layers connected to it. The multilayer stack produced in this manner can subsequently, in a joint fluid process step, as an entity be subjected to further processing steps, for example can be coated with a passivating oxide. Subsequently, the macroporous layers can be separated, successively, from the stabilizing edge region of the semiconductor substrate, wherein a mechanical connection between the macroporous layer and the non-porous edge region is interrupted. Prior to tearing off the respective uppermost layer, processes that have a single-sided effect can be applied. In this way a multitude of thin semiconductor layer substrates in the form of macroporous layers including good surface passivation and a reflection-reducing surface texture can be produced with only a few process steps. | 11-08-2012 |
